So the playtest packages coming online tonight at midnight or tomorrow?

Got the email. Requires that you do some button pushing and then a confirmation page saying that you will receive another emailw ith download instructions in 30-60 minutes.

Looks like they figured out how to not crush their servers with this download...

Ahhh panic mode


Why didn't I get it I signed up...

They're probably trying to distribute the load on their systems.

Gah, S3 or Akamai. Wizards should hire me.

Stop injecting logic and reason.... There is no room for such on the interwebs

The guys above could be having a laugh? If WotC are 'distributing the load' - why? - they presumably run off Amazon's S3 or something similar and these systems cope with the release of major videogames.

To be honest, I'm expecting that it will be tomorrow before we see it.

Pleased to be wrong

From @Wizards_DnD:

If you're hearing news of people getting #dndnext related emails, it's true. We're sending them out in batches.

So if you signed up and haven't seen yours yet, be patient. It's coming. #dndnext

Yarp. They are probably sending out the e-mails in groups. This is a good move. Some people have to wait a bit but its better than the servers crashing and no one being able to get anything.

Trevor Kidd confirmed on twitter that emails were going out now.

I've already received an email few minutes ago with instruction to sign up and at the end was:

Congratulations! You are officially signed up to participate in the D&D Next Playtest. You should receive an email within the next 30-60 minutes with instructions on how to download the playtest materials. If you do not see the email in that timeframe, make sure to check your spam folders in case the instructions were accidentally moved there.
